Dr. Orin Carpenter’s mixed media work is informed by his own personal experiences and observations of human encounters and the outcomes that occur.  Carpenter states: “Being an artist of color (AOC), I have the power to bring others into the world I experience through the lens of my creations. I have the power to educate, elevate, and challenge anyone who encounters my works of art, allowing viewers to see the world through my eyes. Hopefully my art can change their perception with a new vision and offer them the opportunity to share in the journey… my journey.”
